Jack Osbourne is set to become a father for the fifth time and he was able to share his happy news with his dad Ozzy Osbourne before his tragic death in July
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here star Jack Osbourne has revealed that he is to become a dad again with second wife Aree Gearhart. This will be the couple’s second child but Jack’s fifth as he has three children from his previous marriage.
And one thing that Jack, 40, is perhaps most proud of is that he was able to share the happy news with his dad Ozzy Osbourne, before he died in July.
In a recent interview following his exit from the ITV show, Jack said: “It’s awesome. We’re super-excited. It was sort of planned, I should say. It was maybe a little earlier than expected. But it’s definitely something that we were wanting to pursue and somehow it happened, miraculously.”
It’s believed that Aree is 28 weeks pregnant. And Jack was not only happy about being able to share the news with his late father, but the upcoming birth has been a welcomed distraction from grieving Ozzy absence.
“I think it’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing — probably in that kind of ‘full cycle’ category, in a weird way. It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness,” he told The Sun on Sunday.
Jack secretly married Aree two years ago, a year after the arrival of their first daughter Maple. At the time, Jack shared with news with his fans by posting: “Something really cool happened. I married the most amazing women I’ve ever met. All in.”
Jack is already a father to Pearl, 13, Andy 10 and Minnie, seven, who he shares with ex wife Lisa Stelly.
Jack and Aree started dating back in 2019 and decided to publicly make their relationship official by attending the American Music Awards in the November of that year.
The couple’s joy comes a few months after the world was left mourning the loss of the rock icon after it emerged that he had died on July 22 at the age of 76.
Honouring the memory of the globally renowned musician, Jack posted an emotional tribute a month after Ozzy died, which also included pictures of his children.
It read: “I haven’t really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much. He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him ‘Dad,’ “
Jack added: “My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing.”
